So, apparently Epic has removed the building feature from its online
shooter, "Fortnite". Originally intended to be a temporary thing,
apparently it's going to be a permanent change.
Honestly, this baffles me. The building was really the only thing that
set "Fortnite" apart from its peers; without it, it's a completely
average competitive shooter. Admittedly, "Fortnite" is getting a bit
long in the tooth, and Epic has always been willing to experiment to
keep the game fresh, but this seems a bit extreme.
Then again, I'm am so-very-obviously not the market for this game, not
being twelve years old anymore. Even were online-shooters a major
part of my video-game diet, "Fortnite" is hardly the sort of game that
would appeal to me. Presumably Epic knows its players better than I
do, and has determined that the building aspect is something they're
willing to sacrifice. But me? What little interest I had in the game evaporated.
Well, whatever. I hope Epic knows what its doing, since Fortnite
pretty much is the only reason we're getting all these free game on
Epic Game Store. It'd be a shame if the funding dried up and I had to
start PAYING for games again. ;-)

Never played it. Are there any adult on-line shooters these days? I
guess Countepoint is still being played.
